Great location, about a 15 min walk to the metro and just two stops away from Republic, and a block away from chilled bars and restaurants. Staff were nice and really helpful. Good hostel!

great place! we stayed an entire week, staff is amazing & really sweet & helpful! they seem to really care & want to make friends. location is great, tons of bars restaurants in area, 15 minute walk to metro. lockers were a little flimsy, but overall I would HIGHLY recommend this place. the bar in front always had great specials on drinks, live music one night, & gives you easy access to new friends & a good atmosphere without venturing too far!

Avoid this hostel. When we arrived they had lost our reservation, and they said that they had sent an email about it (which we could not find). They promised our money back, and to cover our expences for parking, but when we called back two days later they now said it was not their responsability.
One thing is to make a mistake: Another is to promise to make it up but then going back on your own words. All in all a very unprofessional hostel and for us a lousy experience.

Hey Nicole, We are really sorry that you haven't stayed with us and had only this very bad experience.
We recentrly changed our system here at the hostel and indeed some reservation went missing, but now all is back in order. We tried to reach you with no success.
We just wrote you an email to make sure we take care of any extra expenses you had.
Again, we are really sorry for this and will make sure this won't happen again.
Best,

This hostel is great! I enjoyed it very much. The only big problem it has is that the bedrooms are not ventilated well. So it gets very hot, even at nights and you can barly sleep... they really should buy new fans for the bedrooms...

Our stay here was ok. Myself and a friend made São Paulo our first stop. Although friendly upon approaching, we both feel stagf didn't go out of their way to suggest things to do in the city or promote events going on in the hostel. On two of our three days, the showers didn't work which was frustrating. Our private room
was across the road from the hostel. The metro was a 10-15 minute walk which we accidentally stumbled across! Breakfast of a toasted sandwich and fresh fruit was nice :)

Bad on us, we will make sure we are more "agressive" when suggesting stuff ;)
Sorry for the showers, São Paulo is going trought a severe water shortage that suprised us in january. Now we have reservatories all over.
Best,

We stayed in a private double room with new year and maybe the staff had a hard time because the busy period, but we didnt enjoyed our stay. Just a lot of things in a row that were dissapointed for us: room not ready, and after 10 hour travelling... The room was Nice and clean but the showers weren't working. There was supposed to be a little resto but we didn't it see it open during our stay. At the 1st of January they didn't serve breakfast while its included and nothing was open in the area.

This hostel is in a great location in a fantastic and in a very safe neighbourhood in São Paulo. The atmosphere here was ok, but the staff didn't really speak a lot of English, which made it hard for them to give me much help on what to see around the city. They seemed more interested in talking to each other and their friends than anything else. Breakfast was pretty good though.

Nice athmosphere, lots of guests who are also working behind the desk, they were very helpfull all the time. Unfortunately most of the lockers were broken, the beds were really thin and covered in sweaty plastic, showers and toilets were hardly cleaned. Breakfast was nice for the price. Overall a reasonable stay when your expectations are low and you don't want to spend so much.

Good place to stay. Good price and a cool atmosphere. The only 'but' is the breakfast, in my opinion. No options, really closed menu (1 ham&cheese sandwiche, 1 small juice glass, 1 small coffe) nothing else! But I´m sure that´s something really easy to fix! Hope to try the hostel again!

This is a nice hostel - the location is good, Vila Madalena is a really cool neighbourhood to wonder round and explore - some great graffiti and cultural stuff nearby.
The hostel itself didn't really impress me that much - not much atmosphere, the staff were friendly but I saw other guests get more thorough welcomes with maps and suggestions. Breakfast is minimal - one drink, small grilled sandwich and a small glass of fruit. Check out some other hostels in SP that have more to offer.
